According to CoinMeta, Iran launched a missile attack on an oil tanker located in the southern corridor of the Hormuz Strait in Oman. If confirmed, this attack will directly affect the southern shipping route that U.S. officials describe as still operating stably, which transports about 8 million barrels of oil per day. The attack occurred at a time when Iran's Revolutionary Guards declared the Hormuz Strait a theater of war rather than a shipping channel, indicating that the situation may further escalate. The market expects this attack to be seen as a major escalation, and subsequent information regarding the status of the oil tanker, casualties, and the reactions of the United States or its allies will become key data points.
